We were in the area and gave Barn Thai a try for the first time. It was some of the best Thai we've had in CT! Really delicious flavors, inviting and homey ambiance, and vegetarian friendly. We got the veggie dumplings, tofu Drunken Noodles, chicken Pad Thai, the Gang Ped Yang (roasted duck with veggies, pineapple and red curry), mango sticky rice, and the barn thai ice cream. So yummy all around. We don't live nearby but hope to return soon and try more of the menu!

The food is delicious, but I was disappointed in the level of spiciness of the food. I asked for the spiciest level and it was not that spicy. I don’t want to take away from the flavor of the food since it was delicious, but I wish the food was spicier when asked for the spiciest level.
